A pair of photos posted on Instagram by Nicole_4_Eva from the Lockhart, Texas set of Transformers 4 have revealed that actor Titus Welliver is on set with Jack Reynor and Mark Wahlberg. There had been no previous reports of Mr Welliver being tied to Transformers 4, so his actual role on the movie is very much unknown.

Originally denied by Nelson, he later all but confirmed that Mega Fox will be returning in Transformers 4
The conversation took place on Shoot of the Edit

Could this be a new Sideswipe or could it be a Decepticon, Lockdown perhaps? Time will reveal all.

Last night Michael Bay confirmed that the military truck which was revealed as an Autobot in recent on-set images will indeed be called Hound. The bio on Mr Bays's website read as "The always rugged and reliable Hound, one of the Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles from Oshkosh Defense. High resolution". We'd expect Hasbro to release a "Roadbuster" style recolour either as Roadbuster or as "Roadbuster Bulkhead" when a toy is eventually released.
In releated news, Fox Detroit have posted a video, which can be viewed below, regarding the recent Transformers 4 casting call which took place in Michigan. The report states that Michael Bay will be stepping up his filming within the area including using the location to shoot parts of the story which will be set within Hong Kong.

Joblo.com, the website that previously reported rumors regarding the identities of several new characters to be included in Transformers 4, is now claiming to know the names of the two Auotbot vehicles that were revealed yesterday. According to their source the Bugatti Grand Sport Vitesse is Drift, and the 2014 Concept C7 Corvette Stingray is Slingshot.
Drift may well be the rumoured "Samurai looking to regain his honor by joining the Autobots" character, which would kind of tie in to the IDW Character of the same name.
Nelson, admin of Shoot for the Edit, has pointed out that production names do not always end up being final names .. though it's probably unlikey they would change

Joblo have posted an article from a "source" claiming to confirm who some of the Transformers will be appearing in the latest live action movie. This should very much be taken with a pinch of salt as the script it's supposedly from could easily be a fan produced piece of fiction. For those not wanting to be spoilt, look away now.
From Joblo:
That's right, folks, our source has confirmed that TRANSFORMERS 4 will feature none other than the famed Dinobots, including fan favorite Grimlock. No word on whether he'll retain his neanderthal voice, but one can only hope he does as that's a true staple of the character. One of the villains of the film will be a character named Lockdown, who has a ship full of decommissioned Transformers, including the dinobots, which are somehow brought back to life by a captured Optimus Prime. Prime is joined by returning autobot Bumblebee and at one point both characters (and potentially others) will "ride" the Dinobots into battle in Hong Kong (which fits well within the announcement that the film would film partially in China), with Prime on Grimlock and Bumblebee on a Pterandon, presumably Swoop.
Additionally, the autobot Hound will make his debut, as well as a former "Samurai" Decepticon that wants to regain his honor and become an Autobot (UPDATE: Source confirms this is Drift). And what about Megatron, who is presumed dead after the last film? Well, fans of TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE will be happy to know that not only will the dinobots be making their debut, but also Galvatron, who is basically Megatron "reborn" (and originally voiced by the first Spock, Leonard Nimoy).
So those characters who are listed are:
- Optimus Prime
- Grimlock
- Swoop (assumed)
- Lockdown
- Bumblebee
- Hound
- Drift
- Galvatron

Deadline reports that actor Kelsey Grammer has signed on to be the main human villain in Transformers 4.
"Kelsey Grammer is embracing his inner bad guy. After his Golden Globe turn as the ruthless politician in Boss, Grammer has just landed the key villain role in Michael Bay‘s next Transformers film, which stars Mark Wahlberg and Stanley Tucci. I’m told that Grammer will play Harold Attinger, a counter intelligence guy."
The news has split fans with some deciding to docus focus on the term key villain suggest that it means even less screen-time for giant robots, where as in truth nothing it is known about the storyline to justify these fears.
